Who'd Win? Reacher, Rapp, Reece, Harvath, ???

[New2Reload]

I am an avid reader of the Spec Forces/CIA novels. Some of my favorites are the Jack Reacher novels, Mitch Rapp series, Terminal List series (my favorite), and Scott Harvath series. So it got me thinking… who'd win in a Hunger Games type setting for these fictional men of awesomeness?

Let me know who you would pick and why? Got another fictional hero? Add em to the list (keep it to novels )…

Rooster Cogburn from True Grit comes to mind.

A great guy for sure… But I'm not sure he'd be able to keep up with the skills of the aforementioned met above? Unless all they had were revolvers and lever action rifles… Would rooster know how to use NVG's?

Since the new rules of Cadbury places such a high value on being able to work a tampon dispenser, probably whoever has the smallest hands.

Wick.

Does Rabbi Small stand a chance?

 

[Nosferatu]

Yoda would have them all diced up before they could get a single quarter in the tampon dispenser.

That dude in the novel "starship troopers" (not much to do with the movie) with that altered combat personality I believe he called "the machine" would be tough to kill, I think.

Was there ever a novel about Corn Pop? Corn Pop was a bad dude.

OP, surely you've read some Stephen Hunter, right?

The answer is always Bob Lee Swagger.

As a Navy guy (and one who's actually met Jack Carr), I'd submit James Reece as the runner-up in the badassery category.

 

[Dozer99]

I second John Wick.

 

[Old Dog]

I couldn't make it through the fourth John Wick movie... the shootouts are so full of CGI, so over the top, so unrealistic, just didn't do anything for me.

Carr spent more than 20 years as a SEAL, lived the life, saw a lot of combat, and writes a more realistic character. Lee Child's Reacher is just silly to me. But for plot, great writing and well-written characters, give me Stephen Hunter every time.

Dr. Ruth Westheimer.

She'd run a PsyOp on you by reminding you of the bed wetting problem you had into your 30's, then she'd shoot you with her sniper rifle and plug the holes with tampons.

And then she'd probably bake some weird Hungarian cookies made with pickled rat tongues or something.

 

[The Quiet Man]

James Reece. He's every bit as tough as any of the others and much meaner!

How about Nate Romanowski from C.J. Box's Joe Pickett Series? He's rockin' that .454 Casull!
